About the programme

Course Overview

Most recovery effort on project analytics dashboard projects is spent on problems that were visible early. The estimate for dashboard projects that nobody challenged is usually the one that fails. What blocks progress on this strand of project and portfolio delivery is usually unclear ownership rather than unclear intent. Participants finish able to explain project analytics dashboard projects to a non-specialist audience without losing precision. The most reliable predictor of sound this part of project and portfolio delivery is whether anyone reviews it when nothing has gone wrong. The teaching approach is deliberately practical: participants build a delivery plan for dashboard projects as they go. It establishes a shared vocabulary for project analytics dashboard projects so that teams can disagree productively about it. It suits anyone whose decisions touch dashboard projects, in large organisations and small ones alike. Work concludes with a self-assessment of this area of project and portfolio delivery that participants can repeat annually.
